Beck Attacks
The only authoritative comment on the decisions today was an attack by James M. Beck, former representative from Pennsylvania and noted constitutional expert. He held the supreme court had opened the door to “impairment of public and private credit."
“The majority opinion may prove ase fateful as the dread Scott decision,” he spid. “It may lead to social conflict of interests between the debtor and creditor classes, for apparently the door is now to congress, by devaluing the dollar to any point, to relieve the debtor of his obligations.”

On application of C. Lloyd Fisher, Egbert Rosecrans and Frederick A. Pope, Hauptmann’s New Jersey counsel, the condemned slayer of Baby Charles A. Lindbergh jr. was granted an indefinite stay of execution pending decision of the court of errors and appeals. Trial Justice Thomas W. Trenchard granted Hauptmann’s “pauper’s plea’’ that the state bear cost of printing records for the appeal.
“Double Crosser”
Edward J. Reilly, famous Brooklyn defender who was Hauptmann’s chief of defense counsel, took no part in today’s proceedings. From his Brooklyn office he issued a statement describing Fisher as a “double crosser,” adding. “Either Fisher gets out of this case Of I get out. I’m sick and tired of all this fooling around.”
To this Fisher retorted that Reilly sought to delay appeal when procrastination might imperil the prisoner’s life. He charged Reilly has made an “unethical” remark regarding Hauptmann’s innocence.

‘Pay as You Go’ Is Merriam s Policy
SACRAMENTO. Feb. 19.—0J.P>— A pay as you go policy of meeting governmental expenses was stressed by Governor Frank F. Merriam tonight in the second of his radio addresses explaining tax proposals outlined in his bud^t message to the state legislature.
Emergency taxation should be used to meet state expenses in preference to unlimited borrowing against the future, even though such procedure necessitates some sacrifices, he said.
The governor said the state must raise $107,000,000 in new revenue for the coming biennium. This need, he explained, required an adjustment of taxation required by acts of the people.
“For instance, of the $228,000.-000 recommended for general fund expenditures, more than $158,-000,000 is paid into county treasuries for support of schools and other purposes,” he said.
“Voters eliminated $60,000,000 in state revenue by approving return of public utility property to county tax rolls. They also voted to shift $80,000,000 in school costs to the state from the counties.
